Heyo! Just another random who's moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn't too bad but I love anything like Reddit!

Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!

  • Eternal Damnation

    Jump

  • Yeah, like originally I was like "hehe innuendo", and I know the Saja boys were evil demons, but after finishing the movie I was like damn, they didn't joke about "drinking every drop."

  • Eternal Damnation

    Jump

  • Literally the plot of KPOP Demon Hunters but if they were goth instead. And that shit totally would've worked since "Your Idol" topped charts for a week or so.

  • Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games?

    Jump

  • Like others said, any turn-based game. Currently suffering enjoying SMT III Nocturne, others I've played are Octopath, Fire Emblem, Pokemon (esp Mystery Dungeon), Atlus in general. Balatro sounds nice. Rhythm heaven is WarioWare + Music, and that's definitely doable one-handed, especially the Wii version. My mom said Fortune Street (Monopoly but Mario + Dragon Quest) lol.

    Mobile games can be very doable, a cute one I remember is Candies n' Curses, a game where you swipe to direct the character around a haunted mansion and fight bosses. Easily can be played with one hand. If you can tolerate gachas, Cookie Run Kingdom can be put on auto so you don't have to tap much, I just like the story and characters. I think Geometry dash can be doable on low levels with one hand?

    Find your inner weeabo and play some Japanese visual novels. Or if you're a normal person then Ace Attorney would be a fantastic choice, and is a long-ass series. Prepare for courtroom bullshit and jokes.

  • Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027

    Jump

  • I get that getting all the games as they released was hard, because the series is on so many platforms. But I really don't get the "KH is hard to understand" argument today, because you can easily find hundreds of letsplays for every game, cutscenes complications, play/watch every game on the PS4 remix disk, and even watch a fandub of the mobile games (Dark Road is a WIP) if you don't like the KHUX Back Cover recap.

    So like, what's so hard? If you skip games and only read a wiki (the worst possible way to consume any sort of media, mind you), of course you're not gonna know the story and characters, and of course it'll sound confusing.

  • Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent

    Jump

  • Sounds funny, but maybe donate the food instead to your local shelter or food bank in these hard times? :)

  • How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device

    Jump

  • I mean, that's the reality of using an Android phone. 95% of apps are built to use play services in some way, and while most of that can be ignored, apps using push notifs are almost always going to be play instead of unified push. Make the choice of either living with no push notifs, or having push notifs.

    You can use GrapheneOS without push notifs, it's just inconvenient, and the average person wants convenience. This isn't a Graphene problem, it's a big tech influencing Android problem. The original comment makes it seem like Graphene is the issue, but other ROMs are going to encounter that same issue anyway (as I said, Android problem). So therefore I didn't lie, asshole.

    Maybe you can use microG to get around notif issues, but that does require logging in. Use a Linux phone at that rate if you're not gonna use push notifs and don't need Android.

  • How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device

    Jump

  • That's a lie, you can totally avoid Play Services if you truly want to with GrapheneOS, as it literally isn't installed by default. If you only use Fdroid apps and have no need for push notifs, then you can truly use GOS with no Google.

    But the average person probably needs those things mentioned, so you can download a sandboxed version of Play Store and Services instead.

  • Shrimp!

    Jump

  • Man, steamed shrimp dumplings taste fire, so I could see just steaming shrimp and throwing soy sauce or siracha on it or smth.

  • Meet me and the boys by the river, it's important.

    Jump

  • Man, sometimes I'm just blessed by the internet

  • Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman loses his YouTube channel after AI error

    Jump

  • Some are very easy to play without spending any sort of money, and there's several that have pity systems in which you're guaranteed to get what you're pulling for, so at least they're slightly better than gambling. But yes, I won't deny they're predatory, but I've managed to make my gacha journey without spending a penny across the 20+ gacha games I've played and dropped for a little over a decade now.

    Not all of them have great stories, especially the older games which focused on collecting rather than story content, but within the past few years we've gotten great ones that have long arcs that are actually interesting, especially if the game has side lore that you can read about.

    I get that a gacha isn't going to be as good as the average game, but when you've only got a few mins to play something and you're out and about, they're nice.

  • A hypothesis

    Jump

  • Yeah, that "what to absolutely learn" line needs to be established. Basic knowledge of fixing and troubleshooting absolutely should be taught, while scripting and programming is probably not a high priority for many people. Maybe financial/business interested students could learn some scripting, but art and literature students won't really care.

    I'm Gen Z, and I cringe at both my classmates and alpha-cusp cousins, my millennial aunts, my xillenial dad, and my boomer grandparents, one of which taught college classes on how to use computers back in the 80s, so idk what happened there...

    In the case of my classmates, I can understand that if you're too poor to have a home computer with Windows or Mac, then you won't have many opportunities for computer literacy, cause we used heavily locked-down Chromebooks from 5-12th grade, and while my college library has Windows desktops, I'm not sure if the rental laptops are Windows or Chrome. But grown adults had computer lab, so what happened there?

    But still, I've seen mind numbing shit like using the caps key instead of shift when typing (ON PURPOSE, by the way), not using any kind of ad block, not knowing where shit is in phone settings, hell, asking for chargers is "iPhone or Android charger" or "round or flat charger" instead of USB C or lightning.

  • Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For November & December 2025

    Jump

  • As the other comment said, keycards are just a way to "activate" the game, you only need internet to download the game on initial load. So for now it's fine.

    But it'll be a problem if you're stuck somewhere without internet, or if Nintendo cuts support 10+ years later and you can't activate any second-hand cartridges since they no longer have the servers up to download from.

  • I thought Fennec was the continuation of Mull, but I checked and you're right, it's IronFox. Am dummy.

  • Okay, I won't

    Jump

  • oh wow, Piefed has scheduled posts? I know Masto and Misskey do that. Not a feature I'd use, but neat, I see why people switch from Lemmy.

  • SimpleX goes NFT / Shitcoin

    Jump

  • Awesome, the main dev was already a pos, so this is another motivator to not use it. Or at least not give them a single penny, but alas.

  • Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled

  • You don't have to even get very technical, you can use a GUI instead of terminal controls, as mentioned in the same article.

    I used ADB App Control to debloat my stock, unrooted Galaxy Tab.
